Programs
  • Screaming Eagles: (ages 4 1/2-6)
    We have an exceptional Screaming Eagles program for children between the ages 4 1/2-6. This program focuses on teaching coordination skills, attention span, goal setting and of course basic karate techniques. This program is designed to address the specific development needs of the 4-6 year old child. Belt levels have been tailored to the preschool child so he/she will steadily progress in the acquisition of skills and technique. Research has indicated that the ideal schedule for a preschool program is 2 times per week for 30 minutes. This allows the student time and repetition in order to learn without over extending their ability to maintain focus. Our Screaming Eagle program builds self-confidence, and a positive attitude in children necessary for success in any realm. The emphasis on self-discipline helps them to become more responsible and also helps prepare them for the challenges of school. Screaming Eagles Program focuses on:
